Prayers for Moms, Babies and Families
Prayer for Mothers
Dear Heavenly Father,
You have granted women the privilege of bringing forth new life,
which is a great source of fulfillment and joy.
With this gift of motherhood also comes tremendous responsibility
that may cause anxiety and self-doubt.
Please Lord, look down upon Your daughter in Your infinite love
and mercy and offer her strength and comfort in her daily trials.
Walk beside her as she cares for her child, so she knows she is
never alone, and give her peace and rest when the day is through
to refresh her mind, body and soul.
Amen
Prayer for the Helpless Unborn
Heavenly Father,
In Your love for us, protect against the wickedness of the devil,
those helpless little ones whom you have given the gift of life.
Touch with pity the hearts of those women pregnant in out world
today who are not thinking of motherhood.
Help them to see that the child they carry is made in Your image –
as well as theirs – made for eternal life.
Dispel their fear and selfishness and give them true womanly hearts to
love their babies and give them birth and all the needed care that a
Mother can give,
We ask this through Jesus Christ, Your Son, Our Lord, Who lives and
reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, One God forever and ever.
Amen
Prayer for Families
Dear Father,
In Your wisdom you gave us the Holy Family as a model for
all Christian families.
Help us to look to the Blessed Virgin Mary as an example of gentle
love and abundant patience to guide women in their vocation as mothers.
May the strength and courage of St Joseph motivate fathers to protect and
care for their wives and children.
And may Our Lord, Jesus Christ, who came as an infant to share in our
humanity, watch over our families and lead us along the path to salvation.
Amen
Life Runners Creed
We believe in the dignity of all human life from conception to natural death.
We run as a Prayer, to defend children in the womb, so that they may be
born and united with our Christian community.
We run to build Endurance, for the race is long and we must keep our
eyes fixed on You Lord.
We run for Awareness, so our culture will view all human life as a
reflection of Your glory Lord.
We run for Charity, to provide support for mothers and fathers tempted to abort
their child, and healing support for post-abortion women, men and families.
We run to End abortion, for Christ died so that all may live.
Guard us all, born and unborn, with Your PEACE Lord, for in You, life is victorious.
We pray and run in Your name, Jesus Christ.
